How does SwipeClock integrate with Evolution HCM?

SwipeClock® is an online time and attendance solution for businesses, both large and small. It defines practicality in today’s timekeeping industry, offering simple hardware setup, exceptional user-ease, and affordability to businesses of all sizes. Through SwipeClock’s web-based service, employers can automate the process of collecting and calculating time card data for payroll, and payroll providers can automate the process of collecting timekeeping data while increasing revenue generated from their payroll package.

SwipeClock® integrates with Evolution HCM through our API. Employee information from within Evolution HCM is pushed to SwipeClock® so the two systems stay in sync. Please note that this integration is not designed to send information out of SwipeClock and into Evolution HCM, so Evolution HCM will need to be the primary system of record.

Currently, the fields that sync between Evolution HCM and SwipeClock are listed in the screenshot above. Each field in Evolution HCM is listed along with its corresponding field within SwipeClock.

Please keep in mind that for this integration to function, the Employee # field from Evolution HCM must match the “Employee Code” field within SwipeClock. When a new employee is added into Evolution HCM please be sure to enter an Employee # and then this data will automatically be copied into SwipeClock when the employee is created there. For updating existing employees (individuals existing already in both systems), if the Employee # and Employee Code field values do not match, it will result in duplicate entries being created within SwipeClock rather than existing data being updated.

**Note that the integration is only designed to automatically push changes made in Evolution HCM into SwipeClock. If you make an update in SwipeClock® directly, it will not be updated automatically in Evolution.**

To view the employees within SwipeClock, log into your SwipeClock account directly and click on “Employee Setup” from the left-hand column. Then, click on the name of an employee to view their information in more detail. You can then fill out any additional details within the SwipeClock interface.
